Bennotti to head N. America biz for Camira

Indianapolis - Textiles industry Paul Bennotti has joined England-based Camira as director of business development for North America.

He will focus on strategic business development in contract, hospitality and residential segments.

The European textiles mill is a ful-line operation that focuses on designers, specifiers and architects and also sells by the yard. The fabrics will be inventoried at the company's facility here.

Bennotti has been director of marketing for Canada-based Victor Group, which acquired the defunct Quaker Fabrics and later acquired Craftex Mills. He will work closely with Simon Whittaker, director of sales, who has relocated to the company's facility here.

While the company product line is contract focused, Bennotti said: "Our products are sustainable and value priced for the residential market." The launch product collection will be wool, he noted.
